About Jim

Living the dream, but my dreams are weird…

Comedy

After my MA in English in 2013, I finally decided to do what I always wanted to do, and started taking comedy classes and stand up comedy. Having grown accustomed to regular food, shelter, and employment, I kept the day job as I see it as an additional skill I get to use daily.

In a high school in the US, there is a lot of stress these days for a wide variety of reasons.  I find that laughter, in general, can be incredibly beneficial, and based on what my students say, they do enjoy most of it.  Well, some of it.  Is this on the test?

Human Design

In 1999, I found out about Human Design (HD) in Sedona, AZ. Encouraged by my friend, Randy Richmond, we attended profile classes led by Ra Uru Hu. Despite the complexities, I was eager to learn I was a 5/1 Emotional Generator.

I reluctantly, skeptically, experimented with the principle of 'waiting to respond' taught in HD for Generators, and testing to see its validity in my own life. I never lost touch with HD, continuing to learn even after moving away from Sedona.

In addition to Randy Richmond, teachers such Genoa Bliven, Theresa Blanding, and Laveena Archers added to my understanding. Now, as a Living Your Design Guide, I share my HD experiences and knowledge while continuing my HD education with the goal of becoming a HD Analyst.

One more thing…

I’m an active sober person who has used the 12-step methodology to stay clean and sober since 1993. I found Human Design 5 years later.  To me, Human Design works well with any of the 12-step programs. If you’re struggling with drugs or alcohol, don’t be afraid to ask for help. It’s what I did.
